Draw the face. This is a simple step. With anime characters, the face is usually very pointy. For females, the face has a bit more of a delicate curve. Males have a stronger, more defined face.
- Typically anime-style vampires have even pointier faces than ordinary characters.

Now we have to draw a cross along your character's face. These will be your guidelines. Most of a character's facial features will fall into place with these guidelines.

There you have it; you now know how to draw a basic anime face.

You can also have blood drip down or just do a line to show the characters feelings. With the eyes, add dark rims around the eyes, and you could colour them bright red to show your character vampire is hungry.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/7f\/Draw-an-Anime-Vampire-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-an-Anime-Vampire-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/7f\/Draw-an-Anime-Vampire-Step-8.jpg\/aid1048340-v4-728px-Draw-an-Anime-Vampire-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Draw it however you want. Draw your own hair and even consider trying different eyes. Let your imagination soar.

How do I make it look like a kid vampire?

To make it look like a kid, you can draw a smaller mouth and nose, and bigger eyes. Also, give him/her a slimmer neck and rounder head.

Question

How do I make it look like a girl?

Community Answer

To make it look more feminine, curve the jaw lines and the cheek structure, and maybe make the neck a little less buff. Try to round the facial features so everything isn't so narrow. Just go for an all-around more curved appearance.

Always use a pencil if you're a beginner, as you will be erasing.
